Here in the U.S., there are a wide variety of transportation-related jobs, from highway construction and bridge engineering to airport security, transit operating and a whole lot more.

I’m sure other countries have those types of jobs as well, but some offer more bizarre career options.

Gizmodo India rounded up these nine transportation-related jobs that are culturally-specific:

1. Licence plate obscurers in Tehran, Iran walk behind cars to hide license plates from cameras that enforce laws restricting vehicles with either odd or even numbers to drive downtown only on certain days.

2. Extra passengers in Jakarta, Indonesia are hired on the side of the road and allow vehicles to have access to “3-in-1” zones that require at least three passengers to travel in those areas.
